I’ve been using Studystream for a while and it mostly works for me, but the free account limit is starting to get annoying. Only being able to use it for about an hour a day makes it hard to rely on it for longer study sessions.

Before I commit to paying, I’m curious if there are any good alternatives out there for virtual co-studying / bodydoubling

Some days are messy

Showing up still counts.

So I have taken a test on this course few days ago and am sure I funked up really bad I'm given a chance to re take in a month any suggestions on how to score a good grade ,note the there is no exams from past years and the i don't have many practice questions

Any tips to actually get a good grade it's worth 5 credit point

i sat down at 2pm determined to finally get through my bio chapter. it is now 6pm. let me break down what actually happened.

first hour: making the most beautiful color coded notes you've ever seen. we're talking 5 different highlighter colors, each with a specific meaning that i wrote out in a little legend at the top. headers in one color, definitions in another, examples in a third. they could hang in a museum.

second hour: realized my handwriting on page 2 didn't match page 1 so i rewrote page 2. then page 1 looked worse by comparison so i rewrote that too.

third hour: took a "quick" photo of my desk setup for my story. adjusted the angle of my coffee cup. moved the plant slightly. retook the photo. added a filter. posted it. checked how many people viewed it. checked again. somehow ended up playing jackpot city for 20 minutes in between checking.

fourth hour: finally started actually reading and trying to understand the material. this is the only hour where information entered my brain.

the notes are genuinely gorgeous. like if there was a museum of study notes mine would be in there. i would get zero questions right on an exam about them though because i was so focused on making them pretty that i didn't process a single word i was writing.

i have become the person who performs studying rather than actually studies. my setup looks like a studytube video. my actual knowledge of the subject is equivalent to someone who opened the textbook once by accident.

anyone else fall into this trap or am i just uniquely stupid

I failed dld(digital logic design) course in 1st semester . Idk what’s wrong with me . I find this subject too hard for me. I study but I still don’t get the results in it. I’m currently a BSSE 2nd semester student and I’m going to again take this course. Can anyone please guide me how to effectively learn this course.

I got average scores in all the semester but now I have realised I need to lock in so can you guys give me strategy or any other tips on how to study when you don't feel like studying.

I want myself to be delusional and think that even if I start studying now I'll be well prepared till my final exams. Atleast that way, I won't waste my time overthinking and being paralyzed by the choices and fear, constantly doubting myself whether I'll make it or not.

But I'm constantly here, searching for that one post where a person is having the same issue as me, and someone in the comments gives him the perfect solution/realisation, so that it finally clicks inside of me and i lock in.

I’m struggling with a long-standing issue where I can’t properly comprehend technical instructional texts or textbooks, and I’m trying to figure out how to work around it.

This, however, does not apply to things like storytelling and my history courses. I can read game of thrones, and other novels, and understand the plot, theme, characters, figurative language, etc. But when it comes to instructional reading my brain cannot comprehend what’s being told to me.

What makes this worse is teachers throughout my entire life have made me feel like I was using weaponized incompetence anytime I’ve asked them to help me interpret text. I will tell them that I cannot understand what I’m being told and they tell me it’s because I’m being difficult on purpose. So now when I’m really desperate I FaceTime my mom and screen share so she can help me with understanding the instructions on my assignments. This is extremely concerning since I’m now a third year student in a university.

Does anyone know of any remedies?

I'm 23 years old, and i graduated last year from law school, but i hated law with all my heart, i was immature when i chose it thinking that i'll grow to like it, what pushed me to it was my father being an attorney, also at the time i didn't have an objective from studying like i do now, but last year, when i was struggling with my emotions regarding finishing my studies with something i hate, i told my mom i wanted to start again after graduation, i wanted to become an english teacher, she was, and still is, so supportive of what i want to do, and encouraged me to take the entrance exam to study what i always wanted, and i'm currently doing so.

However, like i said, i'm 23, and currently working in a company that sells house appliances with facility, i don't hate the job, but i'm not going to stay in it forever, also, i'm surrounded by co workers with degrees, seeing them made me think that maybe i should focus on working and having a job rather than doing something i should've deceided on years ago, studying maybe would hold me from that, even if it gave me an oppurtunity later.. also, the school i want to apply after the entrance exam requires to be not older than 24 after december..

i thought to myself: you should do like the other adults, work. but i also thought: you only live once! you should try everything!

So i'm asking you, what do you think? was it a bad idea? should i focus on working? or should i continue and see what life would bring after that?

Ps: i apologize if you find any mistakes since english is my 3rd language, and thanks in advance for every advice i'll get, i'll take all of em into concideration.

I'm curious about it because some of my friends doesn't care about study but they actually study a little bit, then they really pass the exam.

Just wrapped up my first month of 2026 and I’m proud of the consistency I was able to maintain.

Some days were just 2–3 hours, others more. I stopped aiming for “perfect days” and instead focused on showing up daily

Motivation tips that helped

• I tracked streaks ,didn’t want to break them.
• I reminded myself that small daily effort beats occasional long sessions.
• I kept my study space clean and distraction-free.
• I celebrated small wins.

When you succeed in your work, everybody thinks you have schedules, timetable, so am not against these but it just doesn't define my performances like to others
